So I haven't been on here very much lately. Let's just say that my life is SWAMPED right now. I think that my crazy schedule is finally catching up with me and I am more stressed out than ever remember.  More than anything, my school schedule is really getting to me. I've had four exams over the past two weeks and I have one more tomorrow.  On top of that, I have one group project and three papers due within the next three weeks. All this and 30 hours of work and training...Whew! So to say the least, I'm busy :) This is when I really need to remind myself how much of this is mental. I'm ultimately in control of my stress levels.  It's all about how I react to everything on my plate.  I could either look at everything that needs to be done and become very discouraged or I could look at everything to do and claim that I will get everything done and just do it! So that's what I need to do. Just do it. That's all there is to it....There's no point in worrying or stressing out because that won't get my work done! So I'm going to press into the Lord more than ever and get it all done :)

So "off season" is going great. I've been training my butt off with Peter and the girls at Snap Fitness! I've been lifting heavy and I'm getting stronger, so no complaints there! I also started working with John and Roxana Kreklo for my diet. I'm very excited to be working with them...They are amazing people and I feel so blessed to be working with them.  It's amazing how the Lord has put such amazing people in my life. My trainer, Peter, is a strong Christian and he shows his faith in all that he does. He has helped me so much over the past year and I'm very thankful to be working with him.  The Lord has also helped me cross paths with John and Roxana...They too are strong Christians and I have enjoyed seeing the Lord shine through them! So overall, I'm feeling very happy with where I'm at right now. My training is kicking major butt and my diet is going amazing as well!! I'm ready for the next several months of prep...Even though it's going to be my most difficult time to prep with my school schedule, I'm ready for the challenge. It is what you make it right?!

So that's that. I have a busy week ahead of me, but that's just fine! I'm excited to go to Tanji's Workshop this coming Saturday. For all of you Bikini, Figure and Fitness gals, Tanji holds a yearly workshop that covers all aspects of competing.  She has several people within the industry come help out and it's a great opportunity for everyone to get a head start on prep for the 2010 season. She is holding it this coming Saturday in Bellevue.  If you're interested in going, contact her through facebook or her email, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

**“A man can be as great as he wants to be. If you believe in yourself and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.** --Vince Lombardi

Believe in yourself and commit to making the most of every day ahead of you! For all of you prepping for Spring shows, before we know it Spring will be here and we need to be ready!! So make it happen and BELIEVE that you can make it happen! Other than that, enjoy the ride :)

Stay Strong. Stay Focused. Let the Lord's Light SHINE!
